To determine whether the first or second syllable is accented in each word, you can use the following steps:
1. Identify the number of syllables in each word. Syllables are the units of sound in a word and are typically formed by vowels or combinations of vowels and consonants. For example, "Can-cel" has two syllables, while "Can-cel-la-tion" has four syllables.
2. Once you have identified the number of syllables, listen to the word and pay attention to how the stress or emphasis is placed when pronouncing it. The syllable with the most emphasis or where the voice gets louder is usually the one that is accented.
